AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 6/1/10

Toy Guru and Mattel are back with another edition of Ask Matty. Thanks, guys!

1) I’m psyched that with the Green Lantern movie slated for next year, and great events in comics like Blackest Night and Brightest Day that more GL figures are on the way. Were the pictures of the Wal-Mart exclusive GL 5-pack in ToyFare of finished product with no more tweaks possible? Any words of encouragement for Sinestro fans who might still be looking for a great representation of him?

We are still tweaking the figures a bit to make sure they can hold their Lanterns. Sinestro is pretty final. We hope to still do a full new Sinestro down the road to make him even more accurate.

Note: Images are not of final figures. They are images from auctions that Toy News International has collected from eBay seller alvintoy.

I’m not a big fan of repaints, but I am a big fan of metallic paints on a figure. So when I found out that Toys “R” Us was going to be releasing a modern version of Green Lantern with metallic green paint, I knew I had to pick this one up. TRU had already started their exclusive repaints with the DC Universe Classics All-Star Batman (which I actually haven’t seen yet in my local TRU’s). This week the Green Lantern repaints finally made it into Toys “R” Us stores. Let’s have a look at him!

DC Direct Announces Return of Bruce Wayne Figures

The second issue of the Return of Bruce Wayne hit shelves today, and DC Direct took the opportunity to announce a line of action figures to go with the mini-series. I should know better than to doubt Grant Morrison – the first two issues have been a fun read, and the hook that Darkseid has booby-trapped Bruce to destroy the Earth *if* he makes it back to his own time makes it even more compelling.

Well, how about a first look at DC DIRECT’s RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE action figures?

The first wave will hit in April of next year, and features four different versions of our time lost hero, based on the designs of cover artist Andy Kubert.

The figures include:

  • Prehistoric Batman
  • Witch-hunter Batman
  • Wild West Batman
  • High Seas Batman
